### 1/5 — Crash

The game crash whenever you try to advance the day

**Developer response:** Hi thanks for the review, would you like to be a tester? If so contact me on Instagram or by email thx!!

### 5/5 — I would love to put more

*2025-11-16*

It seems to be a great game but everything is bug like I cannot record a song wich is kind the purpose of the game the fonction is freeze. I cannot win money with work…the collaboration and social media option does work to I am very disappointed. If those part are fixed I will be happy to put more because it really seems to be a great game…..

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-11-15*

The game isn’t working not letting you earn money or go to the social media tab or collaboration tab it just restarts the game so u can’t really play it.

**Developer response:** Working on an immediate update to address the issue!! Follow me on Instagram to contact me directly thank you for supporting the game!!!

### 1/5 — Can see the vision

*2025-10-08*

Honestly for what it’s worth as of now I would say save your money. 

I can only hope and pray that in the near future all the features work properly as they are intended, investing, singles, touring, even endorsements. 
Investment as in the purchase of the game it is an endless void where you get nothing in return. 
Single release, what single non exist haven’t see sale numbers yet
And when I try to release an album the whole app crashes. 
Touring you spend money break even but none to be made no matter what the venue size is.
Endorsements, only seen the starting pay nothing more.

Now even if I could leave a negative review I would honestly still give it one star, only because it’s what seems to be a half finished game hidden behind a paywall.
But a star still because I see the vision and I hope this development team brings this game to its full potential. 

For what iits worth not yet worth it.
But I’m already invested so I do hope good comes from this dev.
⭐️

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your patience and review, thanks for seeing the vision!! Working on an update now to address some of these issues then another update to address more issues. Follow us on instagram or email us at acjentertainment@gmail.com we would love to hear more feedback from you 🙏🏾
